You get to be one hundred percent in charge. If you don't like it, change it. When the words are really flowing, it's a complete escape.

Take a break and do something completely different for an hour or so. Shift to another project. Sometimes I force the issue and just type anything until something starts to work, then edit it later.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I would explore for weeks and learn as much magic as possible.

I am working on The Austin Paradigm, which is the final book in The Austin Trilogy. It is currently being edited. I expect it will be released in late February or early March. Separately, I have already started on a new, dystopian series, which I am very excited about.

Inspiration for me comes from many things. Sometimes I read a news article that sparks some idea for the start of a story. Other times I have had ideas come so suddenly that I have to pull to the side of the road while driving and make myself a physical note. The results are the same, however. Once my mind latches onto a great idea, the words just flow.

The idea for the books in The Austin Trilogy stemmed from a hike in the woods with my wife and kids. Something about that day sparked the idea and I started typing. While reading the books, you will get to experience some of the events of that day wrapped up in the adventure.
